Hand-knotted Kashmir Oriental Rug in Silk, White and Beige, 310 × 213 cm — 500,000 knots/m² · 96D0

Hand-knotted from India: a Kashmir rug measuring 310 × 213 cm. Kashmir pieces are woven in northern India; the field is usually a close floral rather than an open ground. At 500,000-599,999 knots/sqm the pile holds around 3.6 million knots in total — a medium-fine weave that wears well underfoot. 100% silk & 100% cotton. Silk carries dye deeper than wool: the colours sit darker in shadow and brighter into the light. The cotton foundation holds it flat and dimensionally stable. A living-room size: 310 × 213 cm sits under a coffee table with room to walk around it. Proportion 1.46:1. One of a kind: hand-knotted rugs are not made in editions, so this exact piece exists once.
